"Talk Dirty To Me" is the second single from Poison, originally from the album Look What the Cat Dragged In. It was the band's chart debut, as the first single "Cry Tough" never charted. Talk Dirty To Me Made it to #9 on the Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1987
Released as a single on January 4, 1987 on the Enigma label of Capitol Records, "Talk Dirty to Me" was followed by the hits "I Want Action" and "I Won't Forget You", all of which were three minute Technicolour explosions of buoyant feel good pop, hot metal bombast and heavy glitter stomp. It has also been confirmed as a playable cover track on the upcoming game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, with Michaels presumably re-recording the vocals.
